$3.80 just seems high is all. Put the nails in if you want, just use the same holes the last guy used.
I do believe that tax credits and rebates usually jack user's prices some and NYSERDA $$ sthupps can be pretty healthy.Comment

Quick Question. On the So Cal pricing of < 3.30/Watt. Is that based on a cash price or a price if you will be using financing?
I have been getting some quotes around the 3.6 with no negotiation yet on a cash price, but a bit higher if I am going with the financing they are offering.Comment

Westchester County is one of the most expensive counties in the country to live in and do business. Property taxes are insane! Less competition in the area also doing solar vs California. Do the system large enough to cover all of your needs and consider this. When it becomes free, you might tend to use more. So doing a slightly larger system will do you good in the long run.Comment

I'd guess it depends some on financing details but probably just as much on negotiating skills. I've seen about that price/Watt on HERO financing and more on cash deals.
Got it - thank you for the intel on this. I dislike that a company would give me 2 prices, but understand as with a mortgage that some people charge fees. My goal was to get several proposals, figure out 3-4 I liked the most and then negotiate from there.Comment
